Hi Fangrui,

A couple of questions:

1. Does the extra search path persist beyond the end of the linker
   script ?  For example, using your sample script:

      % ld p/libm.a foo.o

   Should the linker load p/foo.o ?  (If it exists, of course).


2. Is this feature restricted to libraries, or should it also affect
   object files ?  For example:

    % cat p/libm.a
    INPUT(libm.a.1)
    INPUT(foo.o)

    % ld p/libm.a

   Is this expected to load p/foo.o ?

Cheers
  Nick
